mr. trump: mr. trump: this growth means that our jobs and plans including our child care reform that ivanka trump is involved in -- i like her, too, i agree. will be completely paid for in combination with proposed savings. it will be deficit neutral. if we reach 4% growth, it will reduce the deficit. it will be accomplished through a complete overall of our tax regulatory energy and trade policies. [applause] mr. trump: right now under the obama-clinton policies, the economy grew 1.1% last quarter, a number that was shocking to people that do this professionally and for life. it translates into millions of lost jobs and certainly millions of lost good jobs because we don't have good jobs anymore. those jobs are gone and going. this is the weakest so-called recovery since the great depression. over the last seven years, the slowest ew 2.1%, the period, 70 years. had the economy grown at the same rate as reagan, it would have meant 10 million more jobs. perhaps most shockingly, most men aged 18-34 are

mr. trump's speech. al fanso aguilar is with me this morning. he is the president of the latino partnership for conservative principles. also with me, trump supporter and cnn political commentator andre bauer. welcome to both of you. >> good morning. >> thank you. good morning. >> so, alfonzo, you're reconsidering your support for mr. trump. what disappointed you about his speech? >> well, look, from the very beginning of mr. trump's candidacy, i had criticized his tone and some of his proposals on immigration, but when he became the nominee, i thought it was important to give him a second chance because of who the alternative is, hillary clinton, and i'm really concerned about her dangerous policies and what her presidency would mean to the nation. i'm terrified about hillary clinton. and so, i decided to support him and i thought that we could work with him and the campaign to move him to the center on immigration. and the initial response was very good. for the last two months, he said he was not going to deport people without criminal records

mr. trump: and will have a better life. a married couple earning $75,000 per year with two children and $10,000 in child care, expenses will receive a 30% reduction in their tax bill from what they are paying right now. someone earning $5 million, like the people in this room, will receive virtually no change in their tax bill at all. one of our greatest job creation measures is going to be our 15% business tax rate, down from the current 35% rate, a reduction of more than 40%. [applause] mr. trump: i know that's what you people have been waiting for. [laughter] mr. trump: an explosion of new businesses and new jobs will be created. it will be amazing to watch. you watch and it will happen. we will also allow united states-based manufacturers to fully expense the cost of new plants and equipment. big, big deal.

[applause] mr. trump: hillary is hitting me with tremendous commercials. some of it is entertainment. some of it has been very vicious -- rosie o'donnell -- i said tough things to her. everyone agrees that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her. i want to say something extremely rough to hillary, to her family, and i said to myself, i can't do it. it's inappropriate, it's not nice. but she spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads on me, many of which are absolutely untrue. they are untrue and misrepresentations. i will tell you this lester, it's not nice. i don't deserve that. it's certainly not a nice thing she has done. it's hundreds of millions of ads. and the only gratifying thing is -- i saw the polls come in today. lester: we have to move on to the final question. mr. trump: with $2 million spent, find either winning or tied. [applause] lester: one of you will not win this electio

holt: mr. trump... mr. trump: i'd like to respond to that. holt: please. mr. trump: first of all, i agree, and a lot of people even within my own party want to give certain rights to people on watch lists and no- fly lists. i agree with you. when a person is on a watch list or a no-fly list, and i have the endorsement of the nra, which i'm very proud of. these are very, very good people, and they're protecting the second amendment. but i think we have to look very strongly at no-fly lists and watch lists. and when people are on there, even if they shouldn't be on there, we'll help them, we'll help them legally, we'll help them get off. but i tend to agree with that quite strongly. i do want to bring up the fact that you were the one that brought up the words super-predator about young black youth. and that's a term that i think was a -- it's -- it's been horribly met, as you know. i think you've apologized for it. but i think it was a terrible thing to say. and when it comes to stop-and-frisk, you know, you're talking about takes guns away. well, i'm talking ab

mr. trump: who is going to pay for the wall? >> mexico. mr. trump: who? >> mexico. mr. ump: exactly right. they will. they will. and we know they are doing very well. unfortunately, the bad news is they are being filled up right here. they are being filled up by people from mexico, not from people of the united states. we have got to change it around , folks, i am sorry. we have got to change in around. and it will change. this will keep out the violent cartels and gangs as well as their drugs that are poisoning our youth and many others. many, many others. but that is just the beginning. i'm going to ask congress to send me a bill to repeal and replace, finally obamacare. it's a disaster. it's a disaster. [applause] mr. trump: under senate rules, that bill can be passed with 51 votes. 51. not a big deal. especially if we hold the senate and i think we will. remember they were saying, well, if trump wins, most of those people are up but i'm higher than some of them so it's very interesting. i think we are doing very well, i have to tell you. i think we are doing very wel

mr. trump know that japan pays 50% of the cost of its defense? and i said, why don't they pay 100%? the numbers you are talking about are massive. and when you add it all together, a lot of good things are going to happen. [applause] >> on the corporate tax rate, the corner stone of your economic policy is reducing the corporate tax rate to 15%. secretary of the treasury lew proposed a 28% rate. the u.k. is at 20%. ireland is at 12.5%. how did you settle on 15% of the target for the u.s.? >> a lot of that has to do with the cutting because we are going to be cutting costs also. i think we are going to unleash something that is so amazing and a lot of it is competition. ireland is the lowest. right now we are the highest in the world of the industrialized countries. and we set it from a competitive standpoint and added to that and very importantly to that the cost cutting. and there's tremendous -- when all of us in the room did this, when we buy companies, we like to buy companies that are poor

mr. donald trump. as we have done with my good friend, barack obama, the next american president will find in mexico and in this government a neighbor willing to work constructively to further strengthen the relationship among our nations and face our common challenges. i strongly believe that great opportunities lie ahead of us if we decide to seize them together as true friends, good neighbors and strategic allies. always from a relationship based on mutual respect. while we may not agree on every matter, i am confident that we we will move together forward and be more prosperous and secure than ever before never losing sight of the fact that freedom and independence are the indispensable foundations of all that we cherish. any close relationship needs to be re-examined and renewed. we should always be open to discuss what works and what has not. how can we improve upon things for both sides? how can we clear up misperceptions and understand each other better? with this. this spirit if you days ago i

why they did theirs, i can't tell. >> you heard what mr. trump said. he'll convene his top generals, giving them 30 days to defeat isis with a plan. last night, you called that sophomoric. trump supporters said you had your chance, you know, because you were in the field of battle combating isis and you failed. how do you respond to that? >> well, i would respond by saying that this is a generational fight, carol. when you do the analysis, as i've done of mr. trump's comments about what he would do against isis, and that's just one of multiple national security issues, he has ranged from waterboarding to putting a ring of soldiers around them, and bombing their oil fields, to bombing their families to destroying their families, to saying that he knows better than all the generals do about what to do about isis, and now he is saying, but now i'm going to give them 30 days to give me a plan for isis. so from an analysis standpoint, i'm trying to figure out what he actually stands, and he has not said what he'll do. it is a good step to certainly get milit

mr. trumpthink so. he's a mexican. we are building a wall between us and mexico. >> claiming a person cannot do a job because of their race is the textbook definition of a racist comment. mr. trump: when i am elected, i will suspend integration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the united states. >> i do not think a muslim ban is in our country's interest's. i don't think it is reflective of our principles, not just as a party, but as a country. >> a lot of the media and a lot of republicans, mostly ones who don't want trump to win, including some who do, think this is being cooked right now in a way that will be difficult for trump to recover from. mr. trump: the republicans, our leaders have to get tougher. this is too tough to do it alone, but i think i will be forced to. >> the notion you can go it alone, that you can become president of the united states with no help from anyone, it is on the, all going to -- it is on the, it is all going to be th

and you have a question for mr. trump. >> i do. mr. trump, as you know, tensions between the united states and russia have been at the highest level since the cold war. in your first 120 days of presidency, how would you de-escalate the tensions, and more importantly, what steps would you take to bring mr. putin and the rus negotiating table? >> i think i would have a very good relationship with many foreign leaders. i think it's very sad, when you look at barack obama as an example, lands air force one in china, and they don't want to put out stairs to get off the plane. and he has to use the stairs that mechanics use to get up and down to fix the plane. they wouldn't give him stairs. it's very sad when he lands in saudi arabia, there aren't high officials to even greet him. this is the first time in the storied history of air force one. i think i would have a very, very good relationship with putin. and i think i would have a very, very good relationship with russia. as i said, take a look today. take a look at what happened with thei

mr. trump talks about family leave, it is only for women who have given birth the old-fashioned way. it is only for six weeks. it is only part of a paycheck for unemployment insurance. that is not my mother's vision at all. her vision is that we should all be able to take three months of paid family leave whether we have a child, whether we get hurt, whether some and love needs our support. is ane that to her american value. so while it is often women who are the caregivers -- men need to be part of this as well. [applause] that isclinton: and what she means when she talks about stronger together. because it is not just a slogan. and it matters to me that when my mom talks about raising the minimum wage, it is yes, about raising the minimum wage, it is certainly not that wages are too high, it is about raising the minimum wage, finely guaranteeing equal pay for equal work for women. guaranteeing equal pay for americans with disabilities. because it is still legal in our country in 2016, it is s

has mr. trump ever said, this year is under audit, this year is under audit come but i will release the years not under audit. at this point, i don't even believe that we can believe trump when he says he is under audit. withould release things returns are not under audit. guest: i would agree the presidential level, the expectation and a tradition that the candidates will release her is really a part of the american political process. as you may recall mitt romney was running, there was a big push because he was considered to be a very wealthy man. people wanted to know where that wealth will he sat. but there is a line here that i think is important to make clear. part, where all the conflicts in the potential conflicts when you have large amounts of holding? let's be real, some people just want to know how wealthy he is. there is a must a gossip part of this. one of the things we need to do a step back and say what is the public see -- what is the public policy interest. whether it be at the pre

mr. trumpoth mexico and the united states, this is a humanitarian disaster. having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial. we recognize and respect the right of either country to build a physical barrier or wall on any of its borders to stop the illegal movement of people, drugs, and weapons. cooperation toward achieving the shared objective -- and it will be shared -- of safety for all citizens is paramount to both the united states and to mexico. >> trump went on to say that he and pena had not discussed to -- who would pay for the border wall. earlier today in a speech to the american legion in cincinnati, hillary clinton instructed voters to pay no attention to the man south of the border, telling them not to confer trust in trump just because he met with a world leader. mrs. clinton: with countries working together with my job , every day as your secretary of state. it's more than a photo op, it takes consistency and reliability, and it certainly takes more than tryin

i have known mr. trump since 1986 and when it wasn't fashionable to support the military in 1986, some great people like donald trump and zack fisher, the uss intrepid there and he supports us in that period of time. the medal of honor i wear so proudly throughout my neck, never deserve the medal but it belongs to every man and woman who served our great nation of america because, ladies and gentlemen, freedom is not free. [ applause ] we, right now, today is the most trying time in my life, which life is very short. but i've been around for almost 70 years but, you know, this election means so much. we do not need anymore bureaucratic leadership from washington, dc. [ applause ] we need true leadership from the top. mr. trump has never failed in anything because he listens to his advisors, he listens to his people. for the last eight years, our president hasn't listened to anybody, and that's the reason why we've lost cia directors. we've lost secretary of defense, and many, many general officers that have

mr. trump: i called president obama and hillary clinton the founders of isis. they are the founders. sarcasm"?y don't get new might explain his slogan -- trump 2016 -- could i be any lower in the polls? gets on the conway plane with chuck and keeps them focused, that could change. >> the campaign chair out. >> my father did not want the distraction. and friendly, look at the issues that hillary is facing now. mr. trump: you are living in poverty. your schools are no good. you have no jobs. what the hell do you have to lose? >> the nihilism of what do you have to lose -- give credit to trump for innovating. john: his first meeting with a foreign head of state. mr. trump: we did discuss the wall. we did not discuss payment of the wall. that will be for a later date. we will build a great wall along the southern border in mexico will pay for the wall. john: the weather report in was a little stormy, a little breezy, and a little heated. here is a quick recap of clinton's summer non-vacation. dr. carson i believe the person the republicans have nominated for preside

. >> if mr. trump has any disadvantage going into tomorrow night's debate, it's that he's not really treated fairly and that's pretty obvious if you read many of the reports and turn on any station at any point in the day. >> so, the debate will last about 90 minutes. it will be broken into six 15-minute segments. clinton will be at the podium on stage left. trump will be at the podium on stage right. 1,000 people expected to be right here in the hall. up to 100 million people expected to watch. alisyn. >> just huge numbers in terms of viewership. thank you, jason. let's look at some other important numbers right now. the latest polls show donald trump and hillary clinton locked in a virtual tie nationally. a new cnn poll of polls, that's the one that averages the last five national polls. shows clinton with a razor thin lead. 43% to trump's 41%. new battleground state polls, as well. the all-important swing states which has the race down to one point in two key states. let's look at colorado. trump ed

this comes after criticism that mr. trump would only agree to a sit-down taped interview with the bishop of great faith ministries church. in the meantime, an nba superstar is urging trump not to use his family for political gain. dwyane wade is speaking out about the shooting death of his cousin and this tweet by trump after that sheeting happened. quote, dwyane wade's cousin was shot and killed walking her baby in chicago. just what i've been saying, african-americans will vote trump. here's wade's reaction on "gma." >> you know, it's like, on one hand, your cousin's death is used as a ploy for political gain. on the other hand, it's a national story. it goes back to that for me. i want eyes on the city. you know. i want us to be able to do more together. the only way we do more together is if the more people know what's going on. i was grateful it started a conversation. but on the other hand, it is just a bad taste in my mouth because of what my family is dealing with and what our city of chicago is dealing with and it lo

you have a question for mr. trump. >> i do. mr. trump, i wanted to ask what your plan will be to stop 20 veterans a day from killing themselves. >> and actually, it's 22. it's almost impossible to conceive that this is happening in our country. 20 to 22 people a day are killing themselves. a lot of it is, they're killing themselves over the fact that they're in tremendous pain and they can't see a doctor. we're going to speed up the process. we're going to create a great mental health division. they need help. they need tremendous help, and we're doing nothing for them. the v.a. is really, almost, you. if you look at what's going on as an example in arizona, where they caught people stealing and they can't even fire the people. we are going to make it efficient and good. if it's not good, you're going to private hospitals, public hospitals and doctors. >> one more. >> donald day, who served as a radio operator in the vietnam era. tours of duty in southeast asia and europe. he's a democrat and has this question. >> mr. trump, i have

now mr. trump is standing there between both of us and i'm getting a little irritated by this because i told the "new york times" and everybody else that mr. trump was going to do nothing but he was just going to address the congregation. >> so why did you decide to let him speak? >> i decided because i pushed back on that aide and mr. trump took his speech and, you know what he said? he said whatever the bishop says. he put the speech back in his pocket, didn't have an attitude or anything. he really was the mediator between us two. >> i want to read this. this is ahead of the visit, "the detroit free press" said trump is aiming to use his appearance in a black city with black people to boost his stock among white middle class voters. i'm going to ask you your reaction to that. do you feel in any way that you are -- do you wonder in any way if you're being used by donald trump? >> no, i'm not be used. look, i'm my own man. even when i press -- when they were trying to press me, i said, listen, i'm

mr. trump's miss universe pageant. ed to clarify his remarks this morning on fox and friends. >> she was the worst we ever had. she was the absolute worst. she was impossible. and she was a miss universe contestant that ultimately was a winner who had a difficult time as miss universe. she gained a massive amount of weight. it was a real problem. not only that, her attitude. we had a real problem with it. >> okay. so reality check. she went from 118 pounds to 160. she's 5'7". according to the cdc the average american woman weighs 166 pounds so let's talk about this. with us is mave restin, scotty hughes, cnn political commentator and simone sanders, democratic strategist and former national press secretary for bernie 2016. so, scotty, why did mr. trump go there this morning? why not just let it go? >> never talk about a woman's weight. you're not going to win no matter what you say. i think it's interesting. that just shows how he cherry picks. secretary clinton can bring out this issue but she doesn't talk about tara c

mr. trump as some top generals have lined up behind hillary clinton, new ones today, raising questions about his support among the military ranks. what's more, unlike the three official debates later this fall, there's no governing body for this forum. and nbc is free to handle it any way they want. lieutenant general michael flynn served as the director of the defense intelligence agency. he is the author of the best selling "field of fight, how we can win the global war against rad call islam and its allies." general flynn will be with zrump when he receives his second intelligence briefing tomorrow. you've been advising the candidate on national security issues. all right. general, there's a lot going on. >> a lot going on. >> a briefing is very important tomorrow obviously. we talked after you had just come out of that first briefing and you felt that not only did mr. trump get all the information he needed, you felt like he was ready to be the commander-in-chief. of course you know there a

to mr. trumponally, and members of the campaign have repeatedly now raised this concern of secretary clinton's health. now the only testimony we have of mr. trump's health is this letter from his gastrointerologist saying that he was healthy, mr. trump i can state unequivocally that mr. trump will be the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency. as a doctor's letter, it's a nonserious later, it's full of typos, it's unprofessional. most of the letter has no medical meaning, it links to a website that doesn't economist. if elected donald trump would be the oldest person ever to be sworn in as president. whether or not he's going to try to make hillary's health an issue, doesn't he wrote the american people a more accurate medical report, a more complete statement? >> perhaps. but i want to say something about hillary clinton's health, it's not something i want to comment on, i'm not a doctor, and she not a patient. but i don't see someone who really enjoys campaigning the way he does. >> hi

melissa young has a different view of mr. trump. in march, she told trump she is terminally ill and thanked him for his support. >> i wanted to thank you because through you and your organizations, my son who is mexican-american, 7 years old, through your organization and just being able to stand on that stage and view in 2005, the outpouring of love that came from that ultimately provided my son when he graduates high school with a full ride to college. and -- >> that's great. >> melissa young joins me now. thank you for being with me this morning. >> thank you so much for having me, carol. good morning. >> good morning. i know you were in the hospital this week. so i really do want to thank you for taking the time. i notice you have a port in your chest. can you share with us what that is? >> yes, ma'am. it is not a port, but a different kind of line, a special line, it was really experimental. it is really the last line that they can put in my body and that's my only way of receiving hydration, and the nutrients i need to stay ali

>> mr. trumpthe work you have done for these families and the families across the country and the work you are going to do as president of the united states of america -- [applause] >> i present this plaque, representing the loved ones of the families who have been killed by illegal aliens who are here with us today. and with that, we say, from the remembrance project and the families who have lost their loved ones and those who have not yet but unfortunately will lose their loved ones to illegal aliens, we present this memorial to you. [applause] donald trump: thank you very much. [applause] donald trump: th

if mr. trump -- you know, mr. trump is mr. trump. he's going to do what mr. trump wants to do.ants to worship and he wants to sit down or just shake hands with parishioners like any other visit, we welcome that. after that, that's when we'll have a one-on-one sit-down interview for the impact television network. >> you plan to ask him some pretty tough questions. you'll ask him first if he's a christian and secondly if he's a racist. will you really put it in those terms? >> well, i won't just come out -- i guess that may be disrespectful. first of all, we have to understand. we have two candidates running for major parties should i say, democratic and republican, running for the office of the highest position in our land and, you know, we're going to give him respect. but based on all the things that people have been hearing, people want to know that. they want to know, you know, what is his view on certain things he has said. do you feel that way and why did you say such and such. yes, we want to know about that. our community want to know if he is elected president, what wil

mr. trumpink so at all, he is a mexican. we want to build a wall between here and mexico. >> many republicans are watching this in horror, saying someone cannot do a job because of the race is textbook racism. >> it is extraordinary, but get used to it, there will be more of it. mr. trump: if i'm elected, i will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there is a proven history of terrorism against the united states. >> i do not think a muslim ban is in our country's interests. i do not think it is reflective of our presidents -- principles. >> a lot of the media and a lot of republicans do not want trump to win, but those that do, think this is being cooked right now in a way that will make it difficult for him to recover from. mr. trump: the republicans, honestly, our leaders have to get tougher. this is too tough to do it alone. but i think i will be forced to. >> the notion that you can go it alone and become the president of the united states with no help from anyone, it is all me

mr. trump was criticized when he said not just 10,000 refugees that the administration wanted to bring in. there were outposts bringing in tens of thousands of more. they're not telling american citizens where the refugees are going, they cannot be properly vetted and this goes to prove it. donald trump has been saying this from the beginning and only one that wants to f it. >> the point to that, the media doesn't report this, european media is reporting it. isis is embedding terrorists, sleeper cells throughout europe. that's a concern. let's shift to the next topic. the number of illegals who are supposed to be deported, the story at the top of the hour and yesterday. it's more than double the 858 initially reported. now it turns out the homeland security mistakenly gave citizenship to 1800 illegals from countries that pose national security concerns including terror hot spots. katrina, we've got senator ben sasse of nebraska saying, quote -- i mean, are you seeing that on the campaign trail?
